Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum have been named the NBA's Players of the Week for Week 23 (March 21-27).

Booker averaged 37.3 points and 6.3 assists as the Phoenix Suns went 3-0.

Tatum averaged 32.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists as the Boston Celtics went 3-0.

Chris Paul is probable to return from his thumb fracture in the Phoenix Suns' game on Thursday at the Denver Nuggets.

Paul has missed the past 15 games due to the injury.

Paul is averaging 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game this season.

Chris Paul is likely to return before his original projection of April 3rd, sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic.

Paul was expected to miss six to eight weeks with a right thumb fracture when the injury was announced on Feb. 20.

Paul could now return as early as Wednesday at the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Paul has ramped up his activity of late and his conditioning is the main focus in why he's trying to return earlier. 

The Phoenix Suns have a 10-4 record without Paul and have nearly clinched homeport advantage throughout the playoffs. 

Monty Williams said doesn't have a timetable for Chris Paul's return yet. However, Williams did say that Chris Paul is doing "more and more" in his recovery from a fractured thumb.

Williams added about his All-Star point guard, "I'd rather have him back sooner than later."

During All-Star weekend, Paul said he would return as soon as he is able. Because his injury has been to his thumb, Paul has reportedly been able to keep up with his conditioning while out of action.

Paul last played on February 16. He was injured in that game against the Houston Rockets. The Suns have gone 9-4 during Paul's absence, including their current four-game win streak.

The Phoenix Suns are planning to fill their open Two-Way spot with Gabriel "Iffe" Lundberg of Denmark. The 6-foot-4 guard will become the first Danish-born player to play in the NBA.

Lundberg had been playing for CSKA Moscow. Along with several teammates, Lundberg left the team after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Lundberg reportedly paid his buyout himself to get free from his deal with CSKA.

The 27-year-old had averaged 10.4 points in 21.9 minutes per game in 39 games for CSKA. Lundberg has also played for teams in his native Denmark, Spain and Poland in his professional career.

The New York-based Wachtell Lipton has interviewed more than 300 people as part of their investigation into accusations against Robert Sarver and the Phoenix Suns. The league launched its investigation following ESPN's publication of a story that included allegations of racism and misogyny in a sometimes hostile and toxic workplace. 

Some have been interviewed multiple times. Employees have confirmed a range of published allegations while introducing others, sources said, and have provided the investigators with documents, specifically emails.

Robert Sarver will soon be interviewed as well.

A timeline to complete the investigation remains unclear.

Devin Booker has entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Booker last played on Sunday in Phoenix's 118-114 loss to the Utah Jazz. Booker previously entered the COVID-19 protocols in the preseason. 

The Suns are already playing without Chris Paul.
